 Links
2001
Links
2001 has an entirely new rendering engine with a
terrain surface that includes cliffs, arches and
bunker overhangs. The ball physics also have been
tuned to perfection. Trees, panoramas and golfers
are now anti-aliased for seamless transitions
between on-screen elements. Images have a new
higher resolution (1280x1024), and the courses
come alive with flying birds and falling leaves.
PC
golfers can now re-create their home courses with
the same tools used by the Links 2001 team. Links
2001 features the long-awaited Arnold Palmer
Course Designer (APCD). More than a toy for
entry-level builders, the APCD provides users
with the power and versatility to accurately
re-create their home course in a powerful
real-time 3-D system. Players can tweak every
inch of fairway with the APCA and create tunnels
and arches with full control over each point on
the course. A robust library of trees, shrubs and
other vegetation allows players to sort for the
climate and season that fit their home course, or
they can import their own custom trees.
The
VGA Tour allows Links PC golfers to compete in
the largest golfing event on the Internet. The
VGA Tour challenges the world's professional
tours with the competition, courses, sponsors and
prizes that used to be exclusive to touring pros.
PC golf gamers compete in a series of monthly
multiplayer golf tournaments that map to the
real-world's best golf events for a chance to win
$100,000.
Arnold
Palmer is joined in Links 2001 by Sergio Garcia
and one other touring pro (to be announced).
Links 2001 featured courses include Aviara in San
Diego, Chateau Whistler in the Canadian Rockies,
The Prince Course at the Princeville Resort in
Kauai, Fred Couples' Westfield Course in Clifton,
Va., and the newly created Mesa Roja located in
the canyon lands of the southwestern United
States. Perennial favorite St. Andrews Old Course
has also been enhanced for this version.
Fourteen
amazing new golfer animations are captured at the
highest resolution possible. New tour players and
a variety of other golfers are built with
lifelike, pre-shot motions including waggle,
aiming and pre-shot fidgeting. Each new golfer
has a unique personality and will comment on
players' games as if you were out golfing with
buddies.
If
players normally hit a seven iron 130 yards, they
can adjust the club's distance to reflect their
real game. This feature, combined with dozens of
variables that impact the physics of their shot,
makes Microsoft's Links 2001 an even more
accurate simulation of a player's actual game.
Asynchronous
play speeds up online golfing as people play
simultaneously while watching their competitors'
ball flight in an overhead view.
